Visual Example of Cocaine and Dopamine at a Synapse
The illustration shows cocaine attached to a channel on the presynaptic cell, with an X indicating that the bound cocaine does not enter that cell. Dopamine molecules are shown in the space between the presynaptic and postsynaptic cells, and only dopamine is shown binding to the postsynaptic cell's receptors.
